It's split-squad fun today as the Cubs will be facing the Angels and Giants this afternoon.
The Chicago Cubs (9-6) will battle the Anaheim Angels (9-6) on Saturday at 2:05 p.m. CT at Sloan Park in Mesa, Arizona. One interesting lineup note is that top Cubs prospect Nico Hoerner will get the start at shortstop after Thursday's 3 for 3 performance against the Rockies. Cubs lineup vs. Angels Ben Zobrist 2B Nick Hoerner SS Jim Adduci 1B Francisco Arcia C Johnny Field CF Alec Mills (1-0, 2.25 ERA) will get the start for the Cubs this afternoon against righty Griffin Canning (0-0, 11.57 ERA). Update: Mill was a late scratch as Duane Underwood Jr. will get the start now. Cubs relievers scheduled to pitch today include Pedro Strop, Steve Cishek, George Kontos, Carlos Ramirez, Oscar De La Cruz, and Alberto Baldonado.
